Wolf Frommer is a staff scientist with the Carnegie Institution for Science’s Department of Plant Biology, and an associate professor of biology at Stanford University. His research emphasis has focused on the study of regulatory networks that control flux through the metabolic pathways, and on systematically mapping membrane protein interactions to identify the underlying physical networks.
Pamela Ronald is a professor of plant pathology and Chair of the Plant Genomics Program at UC Davis. She is a leading investigator into fundamental biological processes of grasses such as rice and switchgrass, using the tools of genomics, proteomics and informatics.
Henrik Vibe Scheller's research for JBEI focuses on the identification of glycosyltransferases and other enzymes involved in cell wall biosynthesis and determining their biochemical function. The obtained knowledge of the enzymes will be used to generate modified plants that are potentially more suitable for biofuel production.
Dominique Loque's research targets the structure of plant cell walls for improved cellulosic extraction.
Joshua Heazlewood’s research at JBEI involves the utlization and integration of transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic methods and state of the art imaging systems to form detailed characterization of components involved in cell wall formation, development and maintenance.
